My husband and I spent a week touring the Shetlands Islands and found Helga easy to drive and very comfortable (+ the rounds on Shetland are excellent). There is everything you need for a good holiday: a really comfortable full-sized double bed, a good sized fridge with freezer compartment, small oven, 3-ring gas hob, and all the equipment you need to make delicious meals. The shower room, with toilet and sink, is surprisingly spacious. There is a dining area with bench seating, which can be converted into another double bed if needed. The driver and passenger seats also swing round for additional and very comfortable seating. There is even a TV, but we didn't use this. Shona is an amazing host: so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and easy-going. There were some lovely goodies in the fridge to get us started, all of which were delicious and very much appreciated. Shetland is beautiful and we could have easily spent another week there and still wanted to come back for more. It's difficult to choose a favourite place, but the beach at St Ninian's Isle was beautiful (plus good parking), and seeing puffins at Sumburgh Head and otters in the lochs was very special. The Croft House Museum was fascinated, and brought to life by the excellent guide. Lerwick was charming with lots of interesting independent shops, plus a good Tesco for your basics. We did a mixture of eating in and eating out, and the places we liked were The Peerie Cafe and Fjara Cafe Bar in Lerwick, Da Otter's Neuk on Unst, The Cornerstone in Scalloway, and the Braewick Cafe in Northmavine. There are many fine dining options on Shetland but we didn't experience these (the thought of dressing up clashed with our relaxed holiday mood!). In conclusion, Shetland is an amazing place to visit if you enjoy nature, wildlife, walking, and a relaxed vibe, and Helga provided a comfortable and convenient way to explore.
